Try mapping the shared drive with the path: \\192.168.1.x\shared_folder.

Let’s start with VPN off then.
1. Can you ping the 192.168.1.x IP address of the PC with the shared folder?
2. Can you access the Internet from the same PC?

[support]

We’ll see how much effort it takes to support this and will post back here. Can the Flint 2 image be built from their github repository?

Can you check the port number on the router side? Port 1 is the leftmost port, labeled LAN3 on the box.

[support]

You can get to the web ui via a 192.168.1.x IP address but can’t ping the same IP address?

As a test, you can disable the VPN on the router first and see if you can get to the shared folder. You don’t have to shutdown the VPN connection, just uncheck the checkbox under the “Enable for Network” section and Save. If that works, try with the VPN on.

You’re right.

Thanks for the additional info. With this setup, your PC connected to the old router is on the WAN side of the pcWRT router, while the PC connected to the pcWRT router is on the LAN side. With Pia running on the pcWRT, the PC connected to the LAN side is tunneled to Pia’s VPN server. Therefore, it cannot see the local network on your old router.

You can add this entry to the “Split Tunneling” section on the VPN client settings page: 192.168.1.0/24

And yes, if you set a VPN connection to auto-start, the VPN will auto-connect on router reboot.

Please check two things:
1. On your PC connected to the pcWRT router, is the IP address in the 192.168.2.x range?
2. When you log in to the pcWRT router, on the Status page, is the displayed Internet IP in the 192.168.1.x range?

[support]

So Pia is running on the pcWRT router? And the pcWRT WAN is connected to a LAN port on your existing router?

Sorry, we don’t have support for Flint 2.

Some spammer entered a post in our forums. We deleted the post after we found out. We’re working on improving spam detection. Thanks!

Please send your order info to [email protected]. We’ll take care of it.

Currently you can throttle the bandwidth on the Access Control page per profile. There’s no mechanism to prioritize one device over another. But with more bandwidth becoming available from your ISP, the need for such type of QoS is no longer as important as it used to be.

You should be able to add more than 20 static leases, but not up to 1000 if your LAN ip address and netmask are not changed. The default netmask will allow you to add up to 256 static leases.

The easiest way to do this is from the Status page: connect your devices to the router, then the connected devices list will display devices without a static lease in gray. Click on the host link to set a hostname for the device and it will be assigned a static lease with the current IP address. If you want to change the assigned IP address to a specific value, then head to the Network Settings page to change it.

It’s coming soon.
